thank you Ahmad .i have assigned the slab as 0.01 modifier only for moments not for in plane forces (F11,F22,F12) in this case the slab can transfer in plane forces resulting from lateral load.
hello,
i have many questions concerning the shear wall system modeling in etabs:
1)i have assigned for slabs 0.01 modifiers for M11,M22, and M12 in order to transfer the earthquake load to shear walls only . is this correct?.in this case i have problem in mode shape the fundamental modes are...
Dear all ,
i have a 19 floors building and i am using Etabs for seismic analysis,i am starting a g/R (R=4) as minimum scale factor for response spectrum case ,but when comparing the base shear between static and dynamic the ratio V(static)/Vdynamic =6>R,thus the scale factor for spectral case...
